Kawhi Leonard shuts down Giannis Antetokounmpo - 2019 NBA ECF

Спорт

My observations of Kawhi Leonard's excellent defense on Giannis Antetokounmpo
- Leonard's intimidation seemed to do half the work for him. Giannis just didn't look to attack Leonard in the first place
- Giannis usually looked to pass rather than attack Leonard. I included numerous plays where he quickly gave up the ball to another teammate while making no effort to score
- On or off the ball, Giannis essentially never tried to post up Leonard; he just didn't have the post game to muscle through Leonard in the paint like a traditional big man
- Especially off-ball, Giannis looked clueless and rarely looked to establish any kind of offensive position
- Leonard's length did force Giannis into numerous turnovers and a few blocked shots when Giannis did try to attack
- Although Leonard was defending out of position, Giannis' lack of a post game, his tendency to stand around the perimeter, and Leonard's length made up for any size disadvantage that you would expect from a traditional PF or C
- the Raptors' help defense also did their job in complementing Leonard with traps, doubles, and triples, but it was still Leonard who was the leader of their team defense

It's probably due to how Siakam done against Giannis in the regular season after seeing how Blake Griffin did against Giannis with basically one leg I knew Kawhi would be able to handle Giannis Giannis is not Lebron in Miami who Kawhi locked up. I knew Kawhi held back stated by himself just never knew he held back this much offensively/defensively the difference is huge

    Kawhi is just silent but he might actually be studying Giannis every before game. He doesn't have alot of steals in his stats but look at how Giannis's offense reacts. He either passes the ball or gets uncomfortable by the defense and gets forced to do something that isn't comfortable for him. He looks very intimidated with Kawhi that has a docile face and a silent personality. What's unbelievable is Kawhi actually doesn't move alot and uses his arms and his lower body to put Giannis in an uncomfortable position. Kawhi is such a great defender. Unbelievable.

With Giannis he’s like an athlete playing off of athleticism and size(god given) With him I think he has tons of energy with some skills he could use more efficiently. Skills will also help with his footwork as well probably put his IQ up a bit. With free throws like Lebron Giannis just has bad mechanics which can be changed through training. When his free throws gets better his jumper will easily improve due to it being the same mechanics.

With training your depth perception, tactile sensitivity and dexterity increases. Now some are just talented/gifted at it but that can be worked on. I’ve seen this from many players. Pro level to amateur. There are training methods that your body will adjust too in time. I’ve seen PGs in the league who didn’t have floaters but now it’s second nature due to training.

They were winning in game 5 in the third quarter as well. But the adjustments were definitely needed. But I can't blame coach too much because what I said earlier

    One thing you'll actually notice is giannis is fine attacking Kawhi when help isnt there (for example at about 7:00 giannis is able to get good position and if it wasn't for a timely rotation by gasol that's a bucket), but the second the help shades he passes to the slightly open man which is what he should do, also giannis was straight up getting mugged too Kawhi rotated well and certainly didn't play bad defence but it was gasols early and perfect rotations that caused giannis the most problems
